Advanced Machine Learning Operations
In this course, you will be provided with a comprehensive understanding of the machine learning lifecycle and MLOps, emphasizing best practices for data and model management, testing, and scalable architectures. It covers key MLOps components, including CI/CD, pipeline management, and environment separation, while showcasing Databricks’ tools for automation and infrastructure management, such as Declarative Automation Bundles (DABs), Lakeflow Jobs, and Model Serving. You will learn about monitoring, custom metrics, drift detection, model rollout strategies, A/B testing, and the principles of reliable MLOps systems, providing a holistic view of implementing and managing ML projects in Databricks.
Note: Databricks Academy is transitioning to a notebook-based format for classroom sessions within the Databricks environment, discontinuing the use of slide decks for lectures. You can access the lecture notebooks in the Vocareum lab environment.
